Assessment Pack — Mathematics 2
Term 1 · MATATAG Curriculum · Key Stage 1 · SY 2026–2027
This is the English copy of a Filipino document. Grade 2 is assessed in the mother tongue under MTB-MLE, so
assessment.mdcarries the papers as the children actually receive them. Do not administer the English wording — the items below are for observers and supervisors checking coverage and standards.
| Grade Level | Grade 2 |
| Term | Term 1 (weeks 1–11) |
| Assessment Basis | DO No. 015, s. 2026 |
| Key Stage | Key Stage 1 — still numerically graded this year |
1. How assessment works this year
Grade 2 still receives a numerical grade in SY 2026–2027, and moves to descriptive grading in SY 2027–2028. The five levels for that year are in §7, so a teacher meets them early.
| School year | Descriptive grading | Still numerical |
|---|---|---|
| 2026–2027 | Kindergarten, Grade 1 | Grade 2, Grade 3 |
| 2027–2028 | Kindergarten, Grades 1–2 | Grade 3 |
| 2028–2029 | Kindergarten, Grades 1–3 | — |
The weights — and why none are given here
❌ This repository does not hold the Grade 2 weights, and will not invent them.
The 20% / 50% / 30% reported in DO No. 015, s. 2026 is attributed to Key Stages 2 and 3 — Grades 4 to 10. Grade 2 is Key Stage 1, so it is not covered by that split.
A Key Stage 1 Electronic Class Record was published for Grades 2 and 3 only — itself evidence that they are numerically graded — but it could not be obtained. See
source-catalogue.md.So the teacher enters the three percentages in
class-record.html. The record does the arithmetic and refuses to show any grade until the three add to 100.
The three evidence sources remain, whatever the weights: Written Works (weekly checks, worksheets, short quizzes, seatwork with working shown), Performance Tasks (the term tasks, group activities, oral explanations), and Examinations (Summative 1, Summative 2, Term Examination).
Formal written testing at Key Stage 1 is to be limited and developmentally appropriate. Every paper below is 20 items or fewer, half the length of Grade 4 upward, and all of them can be given orally.
2. Table of Specifications — Term 1 Examination
20 items · Remembering · Understanding · Applying · Analysing
| Weeks | Content | CG | Item nos. | Items | R | U | Ap | An | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Circles and composite figures; slides | Q1 · 1–3 | 1–4 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | — | 20.0 |
| 4–6 | Counting, reading and ordering to 1000; ordinals | Q1 · 4–9 | 5–9 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | — | 25.0 |
| 7 | Place value in a 3-digit number | Q1 · 10 | 10–15 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 30.0 |
| 8–9 | Addition to 1000; properties of addition | Q1 · 11–14 | 16–19 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | — | 20.0 |
| 10–11 | Value and comparison of money to ₱1000 | Q2 · 1–2 | 20 | 1 | — | 1 | — | — | 5.0 |
| Total | 20 | 6 | 7 | 6 | 1 | 100 |
There is one Analysing item, deliberately. At Grade 2, an item asking a child to compare two things is already heavy. Item 15 is that item.
3–5. The papers
The three papers and the weekly check are set out in full, in Filipino, in
assessment.md §3–§5. Their shape:
| Paper | Items | Minutes | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summative Test 1 | 15 | 25 | Weeks 1–5 — shapes, numbers to 1000, place value |
| Summative Test 2 | 15 | 25 | Weeks 6–10 — the three questions, zero, addition, money |
| Term 1 Examination | 20 | — | Weeks 1–11 |
| Week 7 weekly check | 10 | 15 | Competency Q1 · 10 only |
The marking notes that matter to an observer:
- Summative 1 items 11 and 12 are the discriminating pair. Both are about the 7 in 472. The first asks for a name (tens), the second for a number (70). A child answering "tens" twice, or "7" twice, has not separated the two questions.
- Summative 1 item 15 is deliberately in the ones place, where the digit and the value coincide. That is not a trick — it is the one case where the wrong rule gives the right answer, and it has to be seen.
- Summative 2 item 9 is the most important on the paper. Rubbing the zero out of 406 leaves 46 — a loss of 360. A child answering "46" can see the effect; one answering "406" has not understood the question.
- In the weekly check, items 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10 are the whole check. A child right on 1, 4, 5, 6 and 8 and wrong on those five can read a number but has not yet understood value.
- Weekly check items 4 and 7 are a matched pair. Item 4 is in the ones (value 9, same as the digit); item 7 is in the tens (value 40, not 4). Writing "4" for item 7 is the exact error, and item 4 will not reveal it.
6. Performance task rubrics
Four rubrics, each 4 criteria × 4 levels = 16 points, covering the four term tasks: Ang Bilang ng Aming Barangay (find three real 3-digit numbers locally and give the value of every digit), Ang Tindahan sa Sulok (five real shop prices, add two, find the change from ₱100), Isang Larawan, Limang Bata (a pictograph where one picture means five), and Isang Araw sa Aking Buhay (four clock faces from a real day, with a.m./p.m. and the intervals between them).
Full rubrics in assessment.md §6. The two group activities in
offline-activities.md carry their own 12-point rubrics.
7. For SY 2027–2028 — descriptive grading
Next year Grade 2 receives no numerical grade. The five levels are set out here so a teacher learns them while numbers are still in use.
| Level | What it looks like in Week 7 of Mathematics 2 (this pack's suggestion) | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Namumukod-tangi (Advancing) | States the value of any digit in any 3-digit number, zero included, and explains why two identical digits in one number have different values |
| B | Napamamalas (Benchmarking) | Accurate on all three questions for an ordinary number; hesitates when a zero appears |
| C | Natutungo (Connecting) | Accurate while holding the bundled sticks; errs once it is only a numeral |
| D | Napauunlad (Developing) | Gets the place right but says the digit where the value was asked for |
| E | Nagsisimula (Emerging) | Reads a 3-digit number aloud but does not yet see the places |
Reporting is through a Learner's Progress Report carrying narrative feedback, not a numeric report card, and no academic awards are conferred at Key Stage 1.
⚠️ All of the above is reported, not verified. DO No. 015, s. 2026 could not be downloaded in the environment this was built in. The five letters and the phase-in years are consistent across several reports, but the "what it looks like" column is this pack's work, not the order's.
8. What is deliberately not here
Term 2 and Term 3 papers (the repository teaches Term 1 Week 7 in full) · numbers beyond 1000 (Grade 3) · a transmutation table (it depends on weights this repository does not hold) · item analysis (needs real learner data) · a DepEd-format TOS (no prescribed layout was obtainable).
